Good God!  ummm..2nd or 4th wed?  I personally don't like the sat
idea.  I'll be honest and admit that most weekends I avoid computer
related thougths (blasphemy!) and would much rather keep it that way.
Also, 1st, 2nd, 3rd monday are all available.  No fridays either if 
possible. 3rd thurstday too. I'm thinking week 1 would be good as
PLUG already has happenings the other weeks.

> 1st Thu  - South Mtn UG 

Umm..is is this a hiking club?

> 2nd Mon  - VB SIG 

Ick.  Making an assumption, but most of the people doing this would
probably be interested in either PERL, Python, or maybe php if they
are considering Linux.  Perl and PHP already have UGs, and I'm sure
Jiva will start a python/Zope group someday. ;) So 2nd monday is still
OK IMHO.

> 2nd Sat  - Programmer SIG

Me no do sat.  Anyone know anything about this group?

> 3rd Thu  - AZ Mac UG (AMUG)

deepak may attend this once.  I still say Apple is the ONLY company in
the world that knows how to make a GUI.

> 4th Tue  - Windows SIG
> 4th Wed  - Windows NT SIG

Agreed.  And at most 10 minutes of announcements before the main topic.
